Illegal digging for gold is continuing at a disused mine in Langlaagte, south of Johannesburg, despite the loss of lives, and arrests of several illegal miners known as Zama Zamas. Twenty-Five of them have ignored pleas and warnings by both the Department of Mineral Resources and the SAPS, and have gone underground. This comes just two days after the bodies of three others were brought to the surface. They'd been trapped underground since last Thursday. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
